Water moves up the xylem through a process called capillary action. ... During transpiration, water evaporates from holes in the surfaces of leaves into the air. As water molecules evaporate from plant leaves, they attract the water molecules still in the plant, helping to pull water up through the stems from the roots.
Hope it helps you..
